Pubs to Stay Open Until 1am as England Take on Italy in Women's Euros

ENGLAND AND WALES, JUL 21 – Pubs in England and Wales can serve alcohol until 1am to celebrate the Women’s Euro semi-final, with 3.4 million expected to watch in hospitality venues, officials said.

  • Pubs in England and Wales will be allowed to stay open until 1am tomorrow, July 22, as fans watch England face Italy in the Women’s Euros semi-final in Geneva.
  • Earlier this year, the government pledged to extend licensing hours for pubs in the event that either England or Wales advanced to the semi-finals or final, following a statement from Dame Diana Johnson in May.
  • The match begins at 8pm British Summer Time in Geneva’s Stade de Genève, where England—undefeated in their last five meetings with Italy—aim to secure a place in their second straight Women’s Euros final.
  • Michael Kill called the extended hours "a positive and progressive move" that supports growing interest in women’s football and boosts the night-time economy.
  • This licensing relaxation allows communities to celebrate safely while pubs benefit from longer opening hours, with the same extension applying if England reaches the final on July 27.
